Abstract

Problem solving is an important part of learning mathematics, but the problem solving ability of students in Indonesia is still low. This study develops problem solving tasks in an Islamic context for junior high school students. Practicality was obtained through test questions on one-to-one and small groups of 22 (twenty two) students from several cities in Indonesia as well as analysis of student work results, questionnaires and interviews. The results of data analysis indicate that practicality Islamic context problem tasks have been obtained and have high validity and reliability so that the questions are feasible to use.

Highlights

  • Mathematical skills are part of the life skills that students must have, so learning activities must emphasize the achievement of these skills

  • Problem solving is an important part of learning mathematics (Pambudi, Budayasa, & Lukito, 2020), but the problem solving ability of students in Indonesia is still low ( (Asfar, 2018), (Rahayuningsih & Jayanti, 2018), (Megawati, Hartatiana, & Wardani, 2020) )

  • This can be seen from the achievements of Indonesian students in international studies such as the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA)

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Mathematical skills are part of the life skills that students must have, so learning activities must emphasize the achievement of these skills. The HOTS questions used still do not use contexts that come from phenomena that are close to students' lives (Wardani, 2020) This is in line with the results of observations in fifteen junior high schools spread throughout Indonesia, that most of the evaluation item tests in the mathematics learning process have not used highlevel questions with context. Islamic values can be integrated into mathematics learning ( (Salafudin, 2015), (Ulpah & Novikasari, 2020)) This provides an opportunity for students to be more motivated related to behavior and good deeds that are usually done in everyday life. Questionnaires and interviews were conducted after students were given problem solving questions in an Islamic context, while documentation was in the form of student work results. The practicality of the questions in this study will be explored more deeply through responses of the students involved as research subjects
